[Verse 1 - Soft piano | Restrained bass | No drums] The guilt I carry leaves a heavy stain Like crimson rivers running through my veins I've tried so hard to wash away the shame But the stench of darkness still remains [Chorus - Drums enter | Deep kick and steady tom pulse | Sparse piano chords | Sustained bass] Come now, let us settle the matter here Though your sins are like scarlet, you need not fear You shall be as white as the falling snow Clear as the water where the cold streams flow [Chorus Response - Driving kick | Light snare | Guitar swells] Wash me with hyssop, make me whole inside Whiter than snow where your grace abides Oh, whiter than the snow [Verse 2 - Piano and bass | Muted guitar | Light hi-hat pulse] You see the sin I buried out of sight All the secret things I've hidden from the light I come to You with nowhere left to hide Complete in me the work that You've begun [Chorus 2 - Percussion-led | Heavy kick drum | Snare backbeat] Come now, let us settle the matter here Though your sins are like scarlet, you need not fear You shall be as white as the falling snow Clear as the water where the cold streams flow [Chorus Response - Heavy kick | Open hi-hat | Drum fills] Wash me with hyssop, make me whole inside Whiter than snow where your grace abides Oh, whiter than the snow [Instrumental Build - Drum kit and bass lead | Rising tom pattern | Heavy kick pulse | Gradually opening electric guitar | Cymbal swell into bridge] [Bridge - Piano and exposed vocal] Create in me a heart made clean and true Restore the joy that once I found in You... Let my weary soul give up the fight And rest within the shelter of Your light [Chorus - Intimate solo voice | almost whispered] Come now, let us settle the matter here Though your sins are like scarlet, you need not fear (kick drum enters) You shall be as white as the falling snow Clear as the water where the cold streams flow [Final Chorus - Full worship band | Heavy kick and strong snare | Open cymbals | Broad electric guitar chords | Piano and bass | Congregational harmonies] Come now, let us settle the matter here Though your sins are like scarlet, you need not fear You shall be as white as the falling snow Clear as the water where the cold streams flow [Final Chorus Response - Driving drums | Sustained guitars | Full backing vocals | Passionate lead vocal] Wash me with hyssop, make me whole inside Whiter than snow where your grace abides Oh, whiter than the snow [Final Refrain - kick, bass, and piano | gentle vocal harmonies] Wash me with hyssop, make me whole inside Whiter than snow where your grace abides (drums drop out) Oh, whiter than the snow [Outro - Solo voice and piano] Oh, whiter than the snow [End - Hold final note | Natural decay]
